Helping Your Student With Hearing Loss Progress to College

Empowering Your Student 

During elementary, middle and high school, parents can advocate for their children. However, college will be different. Colleges and universities generally do not collaborate with parents—your student must be able to advocate for themselves.

And parents who have sent a student with a learning difference to college can vouch for the benefits of accommodations to help ensure success (even if the student used very few accommodations in high school!).

Let us help your student answer questions like these:

• How will my college classes be different from high school?

• What accommodations from high school were most helpful to me?
